Former Olympian Rick Hawn, ex-EliteXC champ Wilson Reis, WEC vet Deividas Taurosevicius and other notables are part of the card.

Bellator 33 takes place Oct. 21 at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.

The night’s main card airs on FOX Sports Net.

The Alvarez (20-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC) vs. Huerta (21-4-1 MMA, 1-1 BFC) bout came about following an injury to season-two tournament winner Pat Curran (12-3 MMA, 3-0 BFC). Curran earned a title shot with the tourney run, but as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported, he was forced off the card with a shoulder injury. That opened the door for Huerta, who was eliminated by Curran in the semifinals of the tourney.

In the co-headliner, current welterweight champ Good (10-0 MMA, 3-0 BFC) meets former NCAA Division I national wrestling champ and season-two tourney winner Askren (6-0 MMA, 3-0 BFC) in a five-round title fight.
